Sarah Welsh
Elliott is a designer and artist living and working in New York City. For over
a decade she has worked in fashion and costuming in both New York and Los

Elliott Modernism she focuses a keen curatorial eye on one of her greatest
infatuations – jewelry.

Welsh Elliott
Modernism is more than just a collection of vintage mid-century jewelry. It is
an extension of Sarah's joy in discovering and appreciating the restrained
beauty inherent in pieces from this period of jewelry design. The items here
are striking, timeless, historical objects of art intended to be collected and
obsessed over. But due to Sarah's fine sense of style, they are also extremely
relevant to current fashion and highly wearable. This collection transcends
trends, passing over the "vintage look" in favor of pieces with
important, relevant style. This is collectable vintage jewelry for the
fashion-forward who value singular, high-end pieces – not just serious
collectors, but for anyone who cares about owning exceptional, progressive,
gorgeous jewelry.

Many of the pieces
here are of peerless design and extremely collectable. Sarah goes to great
lengths in seeking out what is offered for sale, striving to elevate collecting
to an art form. The most inspired and uncommon designers of the mid-century
period are represented. You can often consider the pieces available at Welsh
Elliott Modernism not only beautiful, wearable works of art, but also long-term
investments. As the overall design aesthetic of the mid-20th century becomes
more important and valued, so does the jewelry.

Every item you
find on this site, from the most interesting modern Mexican silver to the most
inventive Scandinavian design, has been carefully chosen by Sarah to meet
exacting standards of quality, uniqueness, and wearability. You will not come
across another collection like Welsh Elliott Modernism.
